Glenelg is a parish on the eastern side of Northumberland, New Brunswick, Canada. The parish was created in 1814 from Newcastle Parish. It was named for Charles Grant, Lord Glenelg (1788-1866), secretary of state for the colonies in the British cabinet, and for the village of Glenelg in Scotland. It included Hardwicke Parish until 1851 and part of Rogersville Parish until 1900. (Source:Place Names of New Brunswick)
